abstract

three major flavonoid fractions were separated from a methanol extract of calendula officinalis flowers by preparative tlc. these fractions were evaluated for the inhibition of parent and tamoxifen resistant t47d human breast cancer cells. we also examined the effect of quercetin and isorhamnetin on the growth of parent and resistant t47d cells in the presence and absence of tamoxifen. it was found that quercetin increased cell proliferation of the resistant t47d cells at the presence of tamoxifen but no effect was detected by using quercitin alone. the fractions isolated from  calendula officinalis did not show any inhibitory effects on the cells. isorhamnetin did not have any proliferative or anti-proliferative activity on the both cell lines.

Antiproliferative effects of flavonoid fractions from Calendula officinalis flowers in parent and tamoxifen resistant T47D human breast cancer cells

The risk of human breast cancer is concerned to cumulative exposure of the breast cells to endogenous estrogens. Strategies aiming at reducing the production of estrogens may be useful for the prevention of estrogens-related breast cancer. Several natural products with plant origin have the potential value as chemo-preventive or therapeutic agents in cancer. Flavonoids, the natural polyphenol c...

Effect of 17-? Estradiol on the Expression of Inducible Nitric oxide Synthase in Parent and Tamoxifen Resistant T47D Breast Cancer Cells

Indirect evidence suggests that estrogen is involved in the etiology of breast cancer. Estrogen is also thought to modulate nitric oxide (NO) in human breast tumor tissue via regulation of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS). Objectives of this study were to determine whether estradiol (E2) affects iNOS expression level in breast cancer cells and to study the effect of various concentrations...
